Updating the heating situation

My condo is equipped with a natural gas gas furnace with a duct system. It handles the serious weather in the area where I live, but I’m not totally glad with it. The duct method is noisy, introduces allergens into our breathing air, as well as takes up quite a bit of space. When the sizzling air pours from the vents, it rises straight up to the ceiling. It only falls back down when it cools down, creating uncomfortable temperature stratification. Because of this, I’m constantly bumping up the control device as well as spending a fortune on our energy costs. The gas furnace also dries out the indoor air, causing all sorts of health concerns as well as destruction to lake condo furnishings. I wish I could tear out the entire gas furnace as well as duct method as well as update it with a boiler as well as radiant floor heating. Instead of using air to tranathletic interest heat energy, a boiler uses water. Water heats up quicker as well as retains heat longer, making it more energy efficient. The boiler heats up the water as well as sends it through a series of pipes hidden beneath the floor. The heating component takes up no living space, doesn’t detract from aesthetics, as well as I don’t need to arrange the furniture around it. The heat is spread evenly across the room as well as remains closer to the floor. It allows lower control device settings without sacrificing comfort. I would absolutely love to walk barefoot across radiant floors in the winter. Unfortunately cutting out a forced air gas furnace to update it with a boiler isn’t feasible. I’m just hoping some professional repair will improve the performance of our gas gas furnace.
